Engineer Walk Test
The engineer walk test mode enables all connected outstations, including “Assist Call”, to be tested for
correct operation by a single engineer without needing to return to the Master Station to reset the calls,
until complete.
Enter the access level 3 engineer code (1812) then press zone button 5. The Master Station will
illuminate the zone indicators with solid magenta to show which lines are connected, i.e. if it illuminates
zones 1-4, and zones 5-8 are not illuminated, then there are 4 lines connected.
For example,
•
Visit Type B outstation on line 1. Press the call button. Listen for the cadence tone. Press
cancel.
•
Visit line 2 which has an “Assist Call” system connected. Operate the pull cord. Cancel “Assist
Call” alarm.
•
Visit line 3 which has a Type B outstation and an “Assist call” system connected. Press call
button on Type B outstation. Listen for the cadence tone. Press cancel. Go to the “Assist Call”
and operate the pull cord. Cancel the “Assist Call” alarm.
•
Return to the Master Station. The zone indicators will be flashing as follows:-
•
Line 1: Red/Magenta to indicate a type B outstation is fitted and tested.
•
Line 2: Blue/Magenta to indicate an “Assist Call” system is fitted and tested.
•
Line 3: Red/Blue to indicate a type B outstation and an “Assist Call” system are fitted and
tested.
•
Line 4: Solid Magenta to indicate that no outstation has been tested.
Press zone button 8 to stop the engineer walk test and to return to the menu options.

Remote Signal Delay Timer
The in-use relay, function can be altered to provide a remote signal via an autodialler, BMS or similar.
The delay is adjustable between 30 seconds and 3 minutes such that if a call from an outstation is not
answered within the chosen time delay then the relay operates. This could be used to send a signal off
site during periods when the master station is not attended.
If the call is answered during the delay period, the relay will not operate, and the timer will cease.
The above function works identically with the Assist Call emergency assistance system.
Enter the access level 3 code (1812), then press button 6 to enter this mode. The magenta zone
indicators from 1 to 8 will be illuminated depending on selection, pressing button 2 will give a 30 second
delay, button 3 a one-minute delay and so on to button 7 which gives a three minute delay. When the
required delay is selected the adjacent indicator will illuminate to confirm the delay period. Press button
8 to exit this mode.
